Conflicting explana tions are given of the reason -and character of the German intervention, which seems to have tided over the recent crisis. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, Feb. ruary 17th, says there is the greatest dis appointment there because the people expected the moral support of Germanv. whereas, now they hear the Emperor of uermany, in his speech from the throne, referring to the programme of the Con stantinople conference as a basis for settlement.A Vienna correspondent asserts that Kussia eagerly referred to rrince Jjis maruk's views, when the latter, at Aus tria's solicitation, intimated to frinco Uort- schakoU that he was straining thesituation beyond reasonable bounds. The writer adds: A rupture between Austria and Kussia was imminent a week ago, and in place of a Kaiserbund an Angio-Austrian combination was on the point of being established. It suited Prince Bismarck to a certain extent that Austria and Kus sia should be at variance, but it was altogether contrary to his calculations that Austria should lorm a separate allianco with England, and had he not been appealed to in time, he would have expressed himself before the German Parliament in terms that would have niude matters perfectly clear for nil partus. There are still wide divergencies between Kussia and Austria. Prince Bismarck will complete a reconciliation at the Con. grees. England must look to herself. She has interests at stake which she will certainly be called upon to defend. There M not a statesman on the continent, outside of those directly concerned, that does not admit the chief ob ject of the tripple alliance to be the annihilation of British ir 11 uence abroad. A Berlin dispulcli apparently confirms a portion of the foregoing. It says: It is doubtful if Prince Bismarck will make a full exposition of bis Eastern policy 11s was expected in reply to an inlerpellation in the Keiclisiag on Tuesday. He will probably he more inclined to explain his views confidentially at one of his Parliamentary soirees. Knynl Murrlnire. I.asl ftlglit. Bkiilin, Feb. 18 The marriage of Princefifl Charlotte, daughter of the Crown Prince and granddaughter of Queen Victorin, to Bernard, Hereditary Prince of the Duchy of K3xe-Meiiiigen, and of the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, to Augustus, Heredi tary Prince of the Grand Duke of Olden burg, are to be solemnized this evening. The ceremony will be performed at seven o'clock in the chapel of the Old Palace. The King and Uueen of the Belgians, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con-naught, the Prince of Orange, heir to the throne of the Netherlands, and many German royal and princely personages have arrived to witness the marriage. A unique feature of the festivities, which have been devised on- a grand scale, will be traditional dunce by torchlight of the twelve Ministers of tho Emperor's Cabi net. The trousseaux in both caHes are all of German make. Bismarck will take part in the wedding festivities, and walk ut the head of tho Ministers in the ceremonial dance, mette flambeaux," Hince 1872 the Chancellor has remained away from all court festivities, and that he now reappears is con sidered as indicating a reconciliation between the Chancellor and the Court. Bismarck seems in excellent health and spirits. lOl'CUIIU LIBfllllUII, 1 Bkiilin, Feb. 18.

Lord D3rby responded that Ad miral Hornby moved the fleet to Mou-dama bay on account of better anchorage there and better telegraphic communication with Constantinople, and that there were no further advices regarding the Russian advance on Constantinople, but information had been received regarding possible advance on Uallipoli, but the Government had not had time to consider it. In the House of Lords this afternoon, Lord Derby read a telegram from Layard denying for himnelf and Sever Pasha the statement made snme days ago that Sever Pasha declared 1 urkey had been misled and encouraged to fight by a promise of English support, particularly by iieacons- field and Layard.

Every exertion b being made to prevent a crevaene, and thus far wilh snc- ceap. A break has occurred in the ltvee, on the Yolo Hide of the river, about eix miles below Washington, which han some- what relieved the pressure on the levees. It has been snowing in the mountains and raining heavily in the valleys and foot-hillf, and all the streams have risen rapicly. Sacramento City is undoubtedly secure, but considerable damage ia reported throughout the valley. A washout on the .rmcervule and Mac- rameuto railroad, just above Tolson, has atopped travel.

After the adjourn ment of the House to-dny, about sixty mem- bera in frivor of the remonetization ot silvor convened in tho room of tho committee on Judiciary. They were called to order by Representative Iiuckner, who announced that tho Executive committee had agreed to eill tha association "the Silver Union, Representative Eden offered the following: Resolved, That to-morrow, immediately after the morning hour, a motion be made by Mr. iiuckner to proceed with the busi ness on the Speaker's table and on reaching the bill to remonetize silver, the previous question shall be called on concurring in the cenuie ameuamenis ana mac mere ue no de bate. Mr. Bright thought there were serious ob jections to the bill as it was returned from the Senate. One was as to the limitation of coinage and another striking the feature of free coinage from the House bill. He wanted to mnke some protest agninst it, for this was a discrimination against both persons uuu menu, a ww nuiuciD ui KUIU. Wr privileged to have their gold bullion coined free of charge, aiid citizens and foreigners couiu ueneui aiiae in mis respect. This discrimination against silver should not be made, us the Bilver to be coined under the bill was to be a full legal tender in payments of all debts. What reason wns (here for dis- ciuniuation against it in the matter of coinage? He stated several other objections against me tin. Mr. Wright offered a resolution as fol io Resolved, That the bill should hi reported m ii ciime irom me oenaie. Ho said they had been here three months. and it was evident they had mndo a decided movement to carry a Silver bill. When passed, he thought, as a mutter of course. the President would veto it. He had no doubt of that, but the Home could pass the bill over the veto by a majority of twotMrds. By accepting the benate bill thoy made the measure certain and sure. Free coinage was a small matter. The bill secures silver currency. It would have a good effect on the country. If the bill should pass as it came from the Senate it would he a great victory. wuen gcniiemen were certain or a good tning wuy snouiti taey nesitate r Mr. Hannaeaidbe was in favor of free coinage. He did not believe the Prcsidont would veto the bill. The President dared not do it. Mr. Hanna made this declaration as radical Republican. If the President should veto this hill, twothirds of both houses would pasa it lo the contrary notwillistand- nier. JNow is the time lo drive the last nai . Mr. White said ho did not approve ot the Senate amendments. He thought tho passage of the bill would do very much to strcngineu me conuaenee ot the country. Mr. hwmg said the people of the country were in intense busiuesa distress and looking for relief from the remonetization of silver. Under this bill thoy would receive none and he ventured the assertion that not $100,000 would be put into circulation by it. The Secretary of the Treasury had the power to sen uunus 10 ouy million m order to re sume specie payments. This bill remone- iizes iiiver, and every dollar or ihe two millions authorized to be coined every month will be boneht bv Secretarv Sherman for the purpose of hoarding it for the prosecution of his resumption scheme, and when this bill was passed the advocatea of resumption would say, "You strengthened our course by giving us twetityfour millions of coin dollars a year;" Mr. Haskell said he was no admirer of Secretary Sherman and his financial policy, uui iur iwu yenra past me oecretary anu toe Director of the Mint have said that if the people want a dollar of 412! Grains, ibev should have as much as they wanted. So rur as mesa gentlemen could control, they would put four millions in circulation every mourn. Mr. Ewiog said he did not want a chcao palm oil" on the country. This bill gave to tho Secretary of tho Treasury power to coin either two or fjur millions of silver dollars a month, but with such a reatrictiou it was adhering tu ellect to the gold standard. He would not vote for it. Mr. Butler said although be did not. lika this b'.li. ho would tako it if he could nhtiiln nothing hotter. The silver men had a giant's strength and should exercise it. They could do what they pleased. Ho thought it would unwise to pass the bill without affording some time lor debate. This would strengthen the measure. If tho bill should be passed without debate, the President might send it back without his approval, suviuff he did bo because he never had heard of anv reason being given iu the House why it Bhould become a law, and therefore Mr. Butler would have it debated in order to take away all excuses for the Executive to say thnt he had a right to send it back because there nau been no debate on it. Mr. Butler then criticised that part of the bill whsrein it is said that the silver dollar shall be a legal , tender ut a nominal value for all debts and dues, pab'.ic and privato, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. According to this, every banker or broker or other person may siy ho will not take silver, but only gold, lie held that such exclusiou could not be made, and referred to the decision of the French Court of Ces sation, in the caao of a contract, that the reiusai or money to tue country was against public policy and ought not, there lure, to be i permitted. Mr. i5iuier said nis proposition was this: Lot this bill bo treated, as all public measures ought to be treated, with due respect to the Nution. Do not re monetize silver with haste or by trick. Let the bill be referred to the committee on Baukingand Currency, and they will come to a conclusion as to what should be dono. if thoy concludo the bill should he passed in its present shape, the friends of remonetization could vote for it in a body. If they should conclude it ought to be amonded, they could voto for an amendment accordingly. By this the bill win gain siren gi n. Mr. Southard moved that the hill bo referred to the committeo on Bankincr and Currency. Mr. Phillips caned attention to the fact that the bill romonetized silver and declared it to be unlimited legal tender. He thought tho true course to pursue was to take the points gained. While he was not in favor of the amendments of tho Senato, he would take it if ho could obtain nothing better. He Baid there were bills pending in the committee on Banking and Currency to further carry out tho purposes of this bill. 'Mr. Fort said in his judgment the Bland Silver bill was a better hill than' that returned by the Senate. Ue thought they could safely act like men. Take this bill, send it to the committee and pass a resolution in the House that the committee may report at any time, and when this committee should do bo, the measure could be discussed. The opening up of this question in the House would be the proudest triumph for Wall street. Some of the members having retired, about forty five remained. The question was disposed ot by agreeing to a motion mat me bill should be referred to-morrow to the cent mittee on Banking and Currency. There were only three or four voices against the motion. This superceded the other propositions, which were not voted on, ihe conierence then adjourned. SCPRIUK COURT DECISIONS. The following decisions were rendered by the supreme uourt to-day : w o. iuuo. Cromwell, County of Sac. Error to the Circuit Court for Iowa. In this cause the Court held that when a person purchased municipal bond that bad several years to run. to which an overdue and unpaid coupon for interest was attached, that fact did not render the bond, and substantially maturing coupons, dishonored paper, so 88 to subject tnem in tne hands ot a purchaser ior value to deiences good against tne original noiaer; that a purchaser in me maraet ot gotiable security, unless personally chargeable with the fund, can recover the full amount of the security against the maker, too ago tie may have paid leaf than its par value. Whatever mummies may have attended their origin, a subsequent purchaser even with notice takes the paper with like immunity that a bona tide pur chaser of public security for value before maturity takes it, treed Irom all infirmities of the origin, the only exceptions being where securities were absolutely void for want of power to issue them, or where the circulation was prohibited by law for illegality of consideration, Buch as being lounuea upon gamming or usurious trans action. Municipal bonds. in Iowa, it is said, drawing ten per cent, interest before maturity, under the law of that State, draw the same interest after maturity, and the couponB attached to such bonds draw six percent, a year alter maturity, rb also mug. monts entered upon them.

Conflicting explana tions are given of the reason -and character of the German intervention, which seems to have tided over the recent crisis. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, Feb. ruary 17th, says there is the greatest dis appointment there because the people expected the moral support of Germanv. whereas, now they hear the Emperor of uermany, in his speech from the throne, referring to the programme of the Con stantinople conference as a basis for settlement.A Vienna correspondent asserts that Kussia eagerly referred to rrince Jjis maruk's views, when the latter, at Aus tria's solicitation, intimated to frinco Uort- schakoU that he was straining thesituation beyond reasonable bounds. The writer adds: A rupture between Austria and Kussia was imminent a week ago, and in place of a Kaiserbund an Angio-Austrian combination was on the point of being established. It suited Prince Bismarck to a certain extent that Austria and Kus sia should be at variance, but it was altogether contrary to his calculations that Austria should lorm a separate allianco with England, and had he not been appealed to in time, he would have expressed himself before the German Parliament in terms that would have niude matters perfectly clear for nil partus. There are still wide divergencies between Kussia and Austria. Prince Bismarck will complete a reconciliation at the Con. grees. England must look to herself. She has interests at stake which she will certainly be called upon to defend. There M not a statesman on the continent, outside of those directly concerned, that does not admit the chief ob ject of the tripple alliance to be the annihilation of British ir 11 uence abroad. A Berlin dispulcli apparently confirms a portion of the foregoing. It says: It is doubtful if Prince Bismarck will make a full exposition of bis Eastern policy 11s was expected in reply to an inlerpellation in the Keiclisiag on Tuesday. He will probably he more inclined to explain his views confidentially at one of his Parliamentary soirees. Knynl Murrlnire. I.asl ftlglit.

The King and Uueen of the Belgians, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con-naught, the Prince of Orange, heir to the throne of the Netherlands, and many German royal and princely personages have arrived to witness the marriage. A unique feature of the festivities, which have been devised on- a grand scale, will be traditional dunce by torchlight of the twelve Ministers of tho Emperor's Cabi net. The trousseaux in both caHes are all of German make. Bismarck will take part in the wedding festivities, and walk ut the head of tho Ministers in the ceremonial dance, mette flambeaux," Hince 1872 the Chancellor has remained away from all court festivities, and that he now reappears is con sidered as indicating a reconciliation between the Chancellor and the Court.

A break has occurred in the ltvee, on the Yolo Hide of the river, about eix miles below Washington, which han some- what relieved the pressure on the levees. It has been snowing in the mountains and raining heavily in the valleys and foot-hillf, and all the streams have risen rapicly.

After the adjourn ment of the House to-dny, about sixty mem- bera in frivor of the remonetization ot silvor convened in tho room of tho committee on Judiciary. They were called to order by Representative Iiuckner, who announced that tho Executive committee had agreed to eill tha association "the Silver Union, Representative Eden offered the following: Resolved, That to-morrow, immediately after the morning hour, a motion be made by Mr. iiuckner to proceed with the busi ness on the Speaker's table and on reaching the bill to remonetize silver, the previous question shall be called on concurring in the cenuie ameuamenis ana mac mere ue no de bate. Mr. Bright thought there were serious ob jections to the bill as it was returned from the Senate. One was as to the limitation of coinage and another striking the feature of free coinage from the House bill. He wanted to mnke some protest agninst it, for this was a discrimination against both persons uuu menu, a ww nuiuciD ui KUIU. Wr privileged to have their gold bullion coined free of charge, aiid citizens and foreigners couiu ueneui aiiae in mis respect. This discrimination against silver should not be made, us the Bilver to be coined under the bill was to be a full legal tender in payments of all debts. What reason wns (here for dis- ciuniuation against it in the matter of coinage? He stated several other objections against me tin. Mr. Wright offered a resolution as fol io Resolved, That the bill should hi reported m ii ciime irom me oenaie. Ho said they had been here three months. and it was evident they had mndo a decided movement to carry a Silver bill. When passed, he thought, as a mutter of course. the President would veto it. He had no doubt of that, but the Home could pass the bill over the veto by a majority of twotMrds. By accepting the benate bill thoy made the measure certain and sure. Free coinage was a small matter. The bill secures silver currency. It would have a good effect on the country. If the bill should pass as it came from the Senate it would he a great victory. wuen gcniiemen were certain or a good tning wuy snouiti taey nesitate r Mr. Hannaeaidbe was in favor of free coinage. He did not believe the Prcsidont would veto the bill. The President dared not do it. Mr. Hanna made this declaration as radical Republican. If the President should veto this hill, twothirds of both houses would pasa it lo the contrary notwillistand- nier. JNow is the time lo drive the last nai . Mr. White said ho did not approve ot the Senate amendments. He thought tho passage of the bill would do very much to strcngineu me conuaenee ot the country. Mr. hwmg said the people of the country were in intense busiuesa distress and looking for relief from the remonetization of silver. Under this bill thoy would receive none and he ventured the assertion that not $100,000 would be put into circulation by it. The Secretary of the Treasury had the power to sen uunus 10 ouy million m order to re sume specie payments. This bill remone- iizes iiiver, and every dollar or ihe two millions authorized to be coined every month will be boneht bv Secretarv Sherman for the purpose of hoarding it for the prosecution of his resumption scheme, and when this bill was passed the advocatea of resumption would say, "You strengthened our course by giving us twetityfour millions of coin dollars a year;" Mr. Haskell said he was no admirer of Secretary Sherman and his financial policy, uui iur iwu yenra past me oecretary anu toe Director of the Mint have said that if the people want a dollar of 412! Grains, ibev should have as much as they wanted. So rur as mesa gentlemen could control, they would put four millions in circulation every mourn. Mr. Ewiog said he did not want a chcao palm oil" on the country. This bill gave to tho Secretary of tho Treasury power to coin either two or fjur millions of silver dollars a month, but with such a reatrictiou it was adhering tu ellect to the gold standard. He would not vote for it. Mr. Butler said although be did not. lika this b'.li. ho would tako it if he could nhtiiln nothing hotter. The silver men had a giant's strength and should exercise it. They could do what they pleased. Ho thought it would unwise to pass the bill without affording some time lor debate. This would strengthen the measure. If tho bill should be passed without debate, the President might send it back without his approval, suviuff he did bo because he never had heard of anv reason being given iu the House why it Bhould become a law, and therefore Mr. Butler would have it debated in order to take away all excuses for the Executive to say thnt he had a right to send it back because there nau been no debate on it. Mr. Butler then criticised that part of the bill whsrein it is said that the silver dollar shall be a legal , tender ut a nominal value for all debts and dues, pab'.ic and privato, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. According to this, every banker or broker or other person may siy ho will not take silver, but only gold, lie held that such exclusiou could not be made, and referred to the decision of the French Court of Ces sation, in the caao of a contract, that the reiusai or money to tue country was against public policy and ought not, there lure, to be i permitted. Mr. i5iuier said nis proposition was this: Lot this bill bo treated, as all public measures ought to be treated, with due respect to the Nution. Do not re monetize silver with haste or by trick. Let the bill be referred to the committee on Baukingand Currency, and they will come to a conclusion as to what should be dono. if thoy concludo the bill should he passed in its present shape, the friends of remonetization could vote for it in a body. If they should conclude it ought to be amonded, they could voto for an amendment accordingly. By this the bill win gain siren gi n. Mr. Southard moved that the hill bo referred to the committeo on Bankincr and Currency. Mr. Phillips caned attention to the fact that the bill romonetized silver and declared it to be unlimited legal tender. He thought tho true course to pursue was to take the points gained. While he was not in favor of the amendments of tho Senato, he would take it if ho could obtain nothing better. He Baid there were bills pending in the committee on Banking and Currency to further carry out tho purposes of this bill. 'Mr. Fort said in his judgment the Bland Silver bill was a better hill than' that returned by the Senate. Ue thought they could safely act like men. Take this bill, send it to the committee and pass a resolution in the House that the committee may report at any time, and when this committee should do bo, the measure could be discussed. The opening up of this question in the House would be the proudest triumph for Wall street. Some of the members having retired, about forty five remained. The question was disposed ot by agreeing to a motion mat me bill should be referred to-morrow to the cent mittee on Banking and Currency. There were only three or four voices against the motion. This superceded the other propositions, which were not voted on, ihe conierence then adjourned. SCPRIUK COURT DECISIONS. The following decisions were rendered by the supreme uourt to-day : w o. iuuo. Cromwell, County of Sac. Error to the Circuit Court for Iowa.
